Jason Heyward for Wade Davis?

[nickel14]

We have a starting pitcher start limit of 9 per matchup. Should I trade Wade Davis for Jason Heyward or stand firm at offering Matt Latos?

Also, Should I drop Matt Latos (or Alex Gordon) for Chris Perez? My closers aren't great...

That is a pretty stacked team... in order to keep Heyward, you're going to have to take a leap of faith with him and keep him for several seasons over more productive guys (Mcab, kinsler, wright, hanley, Longo, Lester, JJ, Hanson all scream must-keep to me, and Quentin/BJ/Wieters are not far behind...) I'm fine with giving up either arm for Heyward though...

And yes, dump Alex Gordon for Chris Perez. Gordon is a bum, and will start off the season injured (again).

Thanks thejusman1! Any other opinions?

I would make the trade for Heyward and also drop Gordon for Perez.

1. Is trading Davis a better option than trading Danks?

2. It would be more ideal to trade Latos than Davis if possible, right?

If you can get Heyward for Danks I'd def do it. But I would rather have Heyward over either arm.

Yes, if you can deal Latos or Danks for Heyward I think it's a no-brainer. But that being said it may cost you Davis, which as I stated is worth it.

EDIT*** Oh yeah, and Perez over Gordon easily.

Try to first trade Latos, then try Danks, then Davis ... get in the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "Get Er Done"

And Agreed on Gordon... drop him like a deuce.

[skjelstrom]

I would definitely try to get Heyward for Davis. obviously try your other options first to get heyward for least possible value, but i like any of them really.

and yes i would also drop gordon, some are high on him, but no signs show a reason to be.

I'd make the Davis-Heyward trade and go for the Gordon-Perez swap as well.

Ideally, though, I think I'd find some way of keeping Davis as I think he's poised for a nice season, even in that division. Maybe you can deal Danks for Heyward and get something else back, or upgrade another player of yours.

Thanks for the help on mine.

Of course not. Latos has greater strikeout upside, in the better park, better league, and especially better division. I've got Latos way ahead of Davis and equal to Danks just this year.

Danks is still young with room for improvement, and has already done it. Trade Davis.
